Information systems are important for day-to-day operations as well as strategic management of businesses. Information systems management involves analysis, design, implementation, and operation of computer-based information systems, which is becoming increasingly important to leading enterprises in innovative ways. The information systems (IS) major focuses on information technology (IT) and process issues for operating and managing large, distributed global businesses, integrating business with systems, designing processes as well as the associated data, managing the IT infrastructure, and developing business applications.

The digital technology management co-major is for students who would like a background in information technology and the roles they play in the different aspects of business. It must be declared in conjunction with another Kelley major, but it may not be declared with an information systems major.
